CHAPTER 919: CHAPTER 919: WE’RE MARRIED!

Seraphina was startled and quickly turned around, Julian Rathborne’s handsome and noble face enlarged in her view.

Today, he was wearing a black wool coat, with his Rolls-Royce business luxury car parked behind. Now, his bright phoenix eyes were looking at her with a shining and gentle smile.

It was him.

He wasn’t in a car accident.

He was standing right in front of her.

The joy of regaining something lost overwhelmed Seraphina’s mind, and she immediately burst into tears, sprinting into his embrace.

Julian Rathborne immediately reached out to catch her, holding her tightly in his arms, pressing his thin lips onto her fragrant long hair for a firm kiss, he laughed, "Why are you crying? Did you think I was in a car accident?"

Seraphina nodded vigorously in his arms, "Yes, I thought it was you just now, I was scared to death..."

Julian Rathborne felt full inside, she was shedding tears for him, she was shedding tears for him.

"Seraphina," he murmured softly, his thin lips landing on her cheek, "I really like you, and you like me too, don’t you?"

What did he say?

He said he liked her.

Was he confessing to her?

Stunned by the sudden confession, Seraphina raised her tear-stained eyes, clenched her fist, and hit his firm chest, one blow after another, "You’re lying, I won’t believe you like me... you disappeared for so many days without contacting me..."

These days, she was anxious and kept reflecting on whether she had done something wrong, when did Seraphina Linden become so insecure?

Julian Rathborne found it hard to explain, he couldn’t possibly say it was... his daughter Serena’s idea, could he?

That morning, Serena called. She didn’t say much, just asked him to go on a business trip.

He looked at the woman in his arms, the two were in the midst of deep love, how could he leave?

He didn’t want to go.

But Serena smiled and said, "Daddy, listen to me, you won’t regret it."

He asked Serena, "When should I come back?"

Serena replied, "Wait until Mommy calls you, then come back."

He wondered, would your mommy call me? Sometimes I feel like she likes me, sometimes I feel like I’m just her plaything, her heart is always unpredictable, I’m not sure.

Serena said, "Daddy, if Mommy calls you, that means she’s telling you... she likes you."

During the business trip, he was counting the days, calling the maid every day to ask about everything she did, no detail was too small, he just wanted to know her whereabouts.

But he listened to Serena, after all, Serena was the only precious daughter of him and Seraphina Linden, whatever the size of the task, it must have its reason, he just needed to follow through.

Although the daughter didn’t grow up by his side, it didn’t prevent Julian Rathborne from being a doting father.

He was always waiting for Seraphina’s call.

Last night, her call finally came.

He knew; he could finally come home.

Julian Rathborne reached out and cradled Seraphina’s face, "Seraphina, you like me too, right?"

Although Seraphina was angry, she didn’t want to deceive herself, his absence left her heart empty.

Just now, she thought he was in a car accident, her entire world felt like it was collapsing.

Seraphina Linden loved wholeheartedly, she would never cower, love must be voiced loudly.

"Julian Rathborne," she looked up at him with her bright, charming face, "listen carefully, I like you, I like you, if you ever dare leave me again, I’ll... mmph!"

Julian Rathborne kissed her directly.

Seraphina felt her brain lacking oxygen; she reached out to push him away, when she felt something small slip onto her right ring finger.

It was a... diamond ring.

He had put a wedding ring on her, "Seraphina, marry me, let’s get married."

Looking at the shining wedding ring, Seraphina’s lips curved up amidst her teary gaze, "With the wedding ring on, do I have a choice to refuse?"

She agreed!

She was going to become Mrs. Rathborne!

Julian Rathborne reached out and pulled Seraphina back into his arms.

Seraphina felt him hugging her especially tightly; she could hardly breathe and struggled to poke her small head out of his embrace, "I agreed to marry you, and you have to keep your initial promise, don’t you dare go back on your word. You said you would give all your money to me, so I could live a life counting money."

Julian Rathborne pressed a kiss into her long hair, "Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word. I’ll give you all the money, just leave me a bit for pocket money."

Seraphina hummed, "Don’t think you’ve gotten a good deal, with me being beautiful inside and out, able to earn and keep a home, I have been a queen, I can choose to be a queen consort, being your Mrs. Rathborne is really a bargain for you!"

"Besides, I have a business mind too. If I were to take financial planning exams, at the very least I’d have a professor’s title by now... mmm!"

Julian Rathborne once again sealed her chattering lips.

...

Julian Rathborne and Seraphina went to get their marriage certificate first, what followed was the wedding ceremony.

The son of Aethelgard, Julian Rathborne and the illustrious Seraphina Linden coming together meant this wedding was destined to be spectacular and the focus of everyone’s attention.

The day of the wedding arrived, and the entire Rathborne family residence was decorated beautifully with flowers and white veils, every single high-society elite was present.

Groom Julian Rathborne was standing with his daughter Serena Sterling, who was wearing a light gauzy gown that enhanced her pure beauty.

Julian Rathborne smiled, "Serena, they say father and son fight battles together, with you by my side, it’s like having an entire army, I really need to thank you this time."

Serena looked at her dad, her face glowing with a playful smile, "Daddy, I know Mommy too well, if she doesn’t like you, she wouldn’t let you near."

Julian Rathborne nodded.

"Daddy, do you know what the most perfect love in this world is?" Serena asked.

Seeing the sparkles in his daughter’s clear, bright eyes, Julian Rathborne curiously asked, "What is it?"

Serena looked up and gazed into the distance, "Love isn’t about clinging to each other tightly, nor is it about taking a step forward and retreating one. Like Uncle Marcus and Aunt Yara, it’s destined to be a lifelong regret."

"The most perfect love should be when you take one step forward, and I take ninety-nine steps. Love is about both sides moving forward together."

As Serena spoke, she glanced forward, where amidst the dazzling lights, Hayden Crawford stood in a handcrafted black suit in the crowd, being amiably served by other executives, like a young emperor.

At this moment, little Willow Crawford ran over, and he bent down to pick up his daughter, asking, "Where’s your mommy?"

Little Willow Crawford pointed, "Mommy’s over there."

Hayden Crawford looked over, and as their eyes met, sweetness already spread in their hearts.

In this life, everyone meets that one person who personally teaches you what love is.
